Holy Community

Famous quotes containing the words holy and/or community:

    I myself saw furious with blood
    Neoptolemus, at his side the black Atridae,
    Hecuba and the hundred daughters, Priam
    Cut down, his filth drenching the holy fires.
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    As in political revolutions, so in paradigm choice—there is no standard higher than the assent of the relevant community. To discover how scientific revolutions are effected, we shall therefore have to examine not only the impact of nature and of logic, but also the techniques of persuasive argumentation effective within the quite special groups that constitute the community of scientists.
    Thomas S. Kuhn (b. 1922)
